RSL expects to welcome the return of several players from injury, international absences and visa issues this weekend, as Juan Manuel Sanabria (Uruguay), Saba Lobjanidze (Georgia), Luca Moisa (USA U19), Colin Guske (USA U20), Kobi Henry (Trinidad), Luc de Fougerolles (Canada \/ visa), Du\u0161an \u017dagar (visa), Zach Booth (hamstring) and Ariath Piol (Achilles) could all be available for selection.<\/p>\n RSL has lost just once in seven previous visits to Subaru Park in Chester, Penn., with an all-time record of 2W-1L-4T, winning away at the death in its last visit on April 27, 2024, by a 2-1 scoreline courtesy of Alex Katranis<\/a>\u2019 late banger from distance. In 12 all-time contests between the sides, RSL has five wins and six draws against just one Union win \u2013 back in May, 2019, by a 4-1 score underneath the Commodore Barry Bridge in suburban Philadelphia. With an away win this weekend, RSL would earn its first road win since March 7 at Atlanta, a span of 12 games winless across all competitions.<\/p>\n Philadelphia is led by current U.S. Men\u2019s National Team starlet Cavan Sullivan, the 17-year-old who has six goals and eight assists in his last eight MLS contests. The Union have won six consecutive MLS matches and 10 of its last 12, with just two draws marring its post-World Cup unbeaten run in league play.<\/p>\n Saturday\u2019s RSL at Philadelphia contest on Apple TV features Chris Wittyngham and Lori Lindsey on the primary English-language call, while Moises Linares will provide the Spanish-language analysis. Simultaneously, the KSL Radio team of David James and Jay Nolly return to the mic, with Nelson Moran \u2013 now in his 22nd RSL season as RSL\u2019s Spanish radio voice \u2013 conducting the Spanish call with Willy Barrueta and Isidro L\u00f3pez on KBMG Latino 106.3 FM.<\/p>\n \n GAME NOTES for Saturday\u2019s RSL @ Philadelphia Match Available Online\u00a0<\/p>\n The Adobe PDF version of the 2026 RSL Game Guide in advance of Saturday\u2019s contest between Real Salt Lake and Philadelphia Union can be found HERE<\/a>.

Nineteen-year-old Academy homegrown Aiden Hezarkhani<\/a> scored just two minutes into the match for the early lead \u2013 boosting RSL to 57W-12L-22T all-time when scoring first in five-plus years during the Pablo Mastroeni era \u2013 while 2026 RSL Golden Boot leader Sergi Solans<\/a> scored a pair of second-half goals, increasing his 2026 total to 15 goals across all competitions, and 11 in MLS action, extending his all-time Club rookie record. Solans\u2019 brace enabled him to become just the sixth collegiate rookie in the 31-season history of Major League Soccer to score 10 or more goals in his first professional season. The emphatic victory snapped RSL\u2019s record 13-game winless run in MLS action dating back to May 16, as well as an overall five-game home drought dating back to August 11 against Liga MX side FC Juarez.<\/p>\n
